[close]testing xorg, evdev mouse, keyboard problems

found this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=44311

just updated this morning, have testing active. running KDEmod, my mouses movement now seem to be restricted to a verticle movement up and down screen,  keyboard also seems to be exhibiting some strange behaviour. I'm guessing this is something to do with evdev,hal changes mentioned in the upgrade help text. Anybody got any ideas?

thanks

Re: [close]testing xorg, evdev mouse, keyboard problems

Does export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 in your .bashrc and restarting X help? Or if that doesn't work does recompiling Xorg with https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13808 help? well i don't think so... I think this is a udev issue where udev changes & creates new devices confusing the X server thus leading to the plethora of problems mentioned here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cg … arch=mouse where the keyboard can sometimes influence the mouse etc.. I know iv'e had a bunch of these errors previously..
